about running for a form of public office? I'm 18 so it would be 2016 before I could go for rep but winning a rep spot shouldn't be too hard. The whole politics thing sounds really cool anybody else thinkin of runnin?

I've thought about running at some point when I'm older, but then I remember that there's pictures like these on the internet.

It has crossed my mind a little.

I'm very young myself, and I would like to learn the bigger picture on as many things as I can before I have serious thoughts though.

If you are at all serious about the idea, consider doing some volunteer work for a local politician. They'd love the free help, and you can likely get some school credit for your work.

I've never done this but beware:  you will likely be doing a lot of 'scut work,'  which may amount to washing windows, filling out forms, etc. It may be a few months before you get promoted: answering phones, stuffing envelopes. But hey... everyone starts out at the bottom.

And...  you'll be on the forefront of  your party's renascence.

eta Personally, I'm going to volunteer for my party's DDT.
